This blog continues the discussion that we began with Epic Journey: The 2008 Elections and American Politics (Rowman and Littlefield, 2009).The latest book in this series is Defying the Odds: the 2016 Elections and American Politics.

So my job is to tell the truth, to be straight with the American people about how I intend to end climate change, what I’m going to do with respect to providing health care for every American, how we’re going to provide tax relief to hard-working Americans who are really feeling the pinch, and to present my vision for where the country needs to go.

If I’m doing that effectively, then I place my trust in the American people that they will sort out the lies from the truth, and they will make a good decision.
